Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 390 - 39: Exorcist

If it’s going to take a few hours... might as well give up now.

Sun Hang thought about it and decided to give it a try first—if he could complete the collection in a short time, that would be great, but if it dragged on and led to lapses in his defense or damage to the equipment, then at least he’d have tried.

As the saying goes, "Do your best, leave the rest to fate."

After the noblewoman multiplied into five, the attack frequency suddenly increased; the Fungus Puppets at the forefront were quickly shredded to pieces. In just two seconds, over thirty puppets were reduced to less than one-fifth.

However, for Sun Hang, he had already achieved his purpose.

Using the puppets as cover, Sun Hang, now less than ten meters from the noblewoman, suddenly slammed his hands onto the ground—a giant hand formed of rubble, glass shards, and mud appeared once more. This time, Sun Hang did not hold back his Spiritual Power and formed five giant hands, clutching all five red-dressed noblewomen.

"Explode."

Sun Hang tightened his fist, and the five giant hands simultaneously clenched their fingers, which were thicker than the average person’s thigh.

The imagined scene of a splatter did not occur; before the giant hands could exert force, the five noblewomen had already turned into a blood-like liquid, flowing out from the gaps between the fingers.

This "blood" gathered together, re-forming into a "noblewoman" over ten meters tall, looking down on Sun Hang.

"Damn," Sun Hang cursed as he jumped back. The next second, where he had stood was pierced like a sieve by countless bloodlines.

The noblewoman’s attack didn’t stop. The bloodlines, with cutting power comparable to lasers, swept towards Sun Hang’s retreating direction at an extremely fast speed.

Sun Hang could avoid these bloodlines, but the problem was that not only was he in their path, but the collection device behind him was also in danger.

If he dodged, all his previous efforts would be for nothing.

Sun Hang gritted his molars and exhaled a deep breath.

All the Liquid Metal Flying Blades gathered in front of him, forming an irregular shield.

Under the barrage of bloodlines, the shield collapsed at first touch. However, as it shattered, a new shield would immediately reconstruct behind it. As for the liquid metal that couldn’t be retracted in time, it would wrap around the bloodlines like taffy, striving to weaken their power as much as possible.

The Liquid Metal Shield was constantly collapsing and reforming, and Sun Hang’s Spiritual Power was rapidly depleting... just when he felt his Spiritual Power was about to be exhausted, the pressure suddenly eased—after slicing through the 735th reforged shield, the bloodlines, at the end of their strength, finally dispersed.

Between the noblewoman and Sun Hang, the ground for over a hundred meters was left with countless thin and deep grooves, as if plowed by a massive wire brush.

The noblewoman didn’t immediately launch a second attack—the continuous barrage just now seemed to have consumed her quite a bit too.

Sun Hang supported himself on his knees with his hands, bending over and gasping for air, while the noblewoman stood silently a hundred meters away, not advancing.

In Sun Hang’s palm was the Shariputra obtained at Dragon Rock Fortress, furiously absorbing the energy stored within—his own energy bar had significantly increased, and this Shariputra as a "power bank" was starting to seem insufficient.

Even if Sun Hang drained all the stored energy, it would only restore less than one-tenth of his energy bar.

If the noblewoman launched another attack like that, perhaps Sun Hang would have no choice but to abandon the equipment and flee alone.

Or... should he gamble and see?

Just stand right in the attack’s path without any defense and see if the Three Apes would help resolve this deadly crisis?

Sun Hang thought about it but dismissed the idea.

If the Three Apes appeared, things might become uncontrollable... he could manipulate the Three Apes, but likewise, the Three Apes could manipulate him.

Sun Hang straightened up, reaching for the handgun strapped to his waist.

He regretted a bit, wishing that the custom evil device handgun for Ling Xiao was in his possession; using that to shoot the noblewoman would leave her at least half-dead if not fully.

As for the life force needed to fire... Sun Hang actually had a cheating method.

That was to use Fungus Puppets to fire and cut off his link with them the moment the trigger was pulled.

Even if the "Godslaying Spear" drained the puppets dry, it had nothing to do with Sun Hang.

"Are you... in trouble?" A distinctly electronic female voice suddenly echoed not far away.

Sun Hang looked towards the voice to see a Hunter in a black cloak and wearing a black rubber raincoat emerge from the rain curtain.

This Hunter seemed familiar to Sun Hang. If he recalled correctly, she should be the leader of the eighth squad.

"I didn’t think anyone else would come. Your appearance is quite unexpected." Sun Hang said, "Besides, your voice sounds strange."

"You thought you would be the first to arrive. You surprised me as well," the other said, "As for my voice... over two-thirds of my vocal cord components are artificial. For Hunters, that’s quite common, isn’t it?"
